Sticky Rice for Sushi

Rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear (let the water run for 3-5 minutes).

Place the drained rice in a saucepan and add the water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once the water is a a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, covered tightly.

Remove the pan from the heat and set aside with the lid on.

Combine the salt and rice wine vinegar.

Spread the rice out on a mat, cookie sheet, or platter. Sprinkle evenly with the vinegar mixture so all the rice is coated, using a wooden spoon to gently mix the rice. Let the sushi rice cool. Use as desired when the sushi rice is completely cooled.

To work with the sushi rice, wet your fingers to the rice doesn't stick.
